Global Heat Pump Market 2019-2025

The Global Heat Pump Market size is expected to reach $102.5 billion by 2025, rising at a market growth of 8.6% CAGR during the forecast period. A rapid increase in the requirements for water and space heating in the countries of Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific are expected to fuel demand for products in these regions. Energy-efficient heating systems are expected to receive popularity in the years ahead. Beneficial government projects are anticipated to provide the necessary support for the growth of the market. Further, the demand for heat pumps is predicted to see tremendous growth each year.

Heat pumps move heat from one stage to the other in the important parts of the cooling and heating processes. These parts use the air available outside and inside a given space to perform these functions. Heat pumps absorb the outside heat when it becomes warm outside and serve as an air conditioner, reducing the heat from the buildings, and vice versa. Decline of primary energy demand and CO2 emission systems is the driving force of the heat pumps market. Extensive investments in the construction and residential sectors could provide significant growth opportunities for heat pump suppliers.

Based on Technology, the market is segmented into Air Source, Water Source and Ground Source. Most popular type of heat pump is the air-source heat pump that transfers energy between the house and outside air. The latest heat pumps are designed to minimize the use of electricity for heating by nearly 50 percent. This is contradictory as compared to electric resistance heaters like furnaces and baseboard heaters. High-efficiency heat pumps dehumidify better than conventional central air conditioners. This leads to less use of energy and more comfort for cooling in summers. Based on Application, the market is segmented into Residential, Industrial and Commercial.

Based on Regions, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America, Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific evolved as the leading regional market and accounted for a major overall market share in 2018. Industrial production processes, like papermaking, chemical industry, textiles, iron & steel, pharmaceuticals, and others, require heat as the primary energy input. This is expected to drive the heat pump demand over the projected period. Developing residential and commercial construction activities are projected to have a positive impact on market growth in Asia Pacific's developing countries. Regional markets sustain their growth rate as major manufacturing destinations, like China and India, with leading players transferring their production facilities to these countries.
